5 Gold Rings is a British television game show that has aired on ITV since 5 March 2017 and is hosted by Phillip Schofield. The goal is to find answers on a giant LED screen by using large rings. A second series has been commissioned to air in 2018. It is based on the Dutch game show, 5 Golden Rings and is filmed on the same set in the Netherlands. An app has also been released, so viewers can play along with the show.
There are two teams made up of two people. There is a giant LED screen in which they must place large rings over where they think the answer is. They will get the question correct if one pixel of where the answer is in the ring. If they get a question wrong, they lose a ring and try answer the question again. With each question, they can win more money, but the rings get smaller. There are two lifelines, Flip the Floor where they can have a different question or they can ask their team of five in the audience to help them.
The team that has taken the most money through to the final take control in the final (if they have won the same amount, there is a coin toss to decide who takes control). They must decide if they will answer the final question with a larger ring, or force the other team to answer it with a smaller ring (if they won the same amount, the rings are the same size). If whoever takes on the final get the question correct, they win the money they took through to the final. If they get it incorrect, the other team get their money.
